Holder plan for off-the-record meetings hits snag
Holder plan for off-the-record meetings hits snag
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A plan by Attorney General Eric Holder to hold meetings with news organizations about guidelines governing investigations that involve reporters has run into snags over the terms of discussions.
The Justice Department wants the meetings to be off the record. The Associated Press issued a statement saying it wants any meeting to be on the record, meaning it could be the subject of news stories. And The New York Times said it won't attend because of the department's off-the-record ground rules.

Obama has asked Holder to report to him on any recommended policy changes by July 12.
